It seems that the WEB UI for the DHCP settings is buggy. However, if you hack around this you can get
the F@st 5355 router to accept DHCP settings in the 192.168 range. If you are using chrome (Modify as
appropriate for the developer tools on other browsers):
* Enter the IP address for the router (e.g. 192.168.0.1) and DHCP start and end addresses (e.g.
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254).
* The UI will show red text and complain the the IP addresse are not valid (even though they are).
* Open the Chrome Dev Tools (Chrome menu - More tools - developer tools)
* Click on the console TAB
* Enter the following text and then press enter:
$('#dhcpForm') .scope().dhcpForm.$valid=true
* Click on the 'Apply' button, and then ok on the Warning that pops up.
* Your router will now apply the new Ip addresses.
* Wait a minute or so, and then reconnect your Wi-Fi to the F@st 5355 router
* You will now need to reconnect to the admin interface on the new address you have configured for the
router (e.g. http://192.168.0.1/ .. from my example above).
